Xia Bingguang knew it. As expected, Xia Hongming did not want to be the emperor. Among his sons, the only one he trusted the most now was Xia Hongming. He had to take the throne no matter what.
Xia Bingguang waved his hand. “I’ve already made tip my mind. Don’t say anything else.”
Xia Hongming was speechless.
If he had known that this position was actually not that good, he would not have fought for it.
However, a few years ago, he had fought with Xia Hongyuan over this position many times. At that time, he did not expect this to happen.
Liu Sanniang couldn’t help but laugh.
Xia Bingguang said to Liu Sanniang, “Miss Liu, please.”
Liu Sanniang nodded. “Okay.”
Seeing that Liu Sanniang had agreed, Xia Bingguang heaved a sigh of relief. It was best to settle this as soon as possible.
After the palace banquet ended, Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan left the palace.
Xia Bingguang and Xia Hongming walked together in the imperial garden. Xia Bingguang sighed and said, “Hongming, as the emperor, while you can enjoy endless wealth and power, you will also have to sacrifice your freedom.”
Xia Hongming’s heart sank. “Father, I…”
Xia Bingguang waved his hand. “I understand. After experiencing the war, your mentality has changed. You no longer have desire for the throne, but look at the soldiers on the battlefield. All of them are protecting their families. Why, as the royal family, we can t sacrifice something?”
Xia Hongming was silent as he followed Xia Bingguang. After a while, he said calmly, “Father, don’t worry. 1 understand.”
Eight days later, the envoys of the Yan Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty entered the capital.
The envoy group of the Yan Dynasty was led by the crown prince, Su Yue, and the little princess, Su Ran. They brought dozens of elite guards and stayed in the inn arranged by Xia Hongming.
The envoy group of the Jin Dynasty was led by the Fifth Prince, Lei Bu, the Sixth Prince, Lei Ming, and the Tenth Princess, Lei Lian. They also brought dozens of tall and strong guards. Xia Hongming also arranged for them to stay in the inn.
After that, Xia Hongming went straight to the general’s mansion.
When Xia Hongming saw that Lin Jie was drawing talismans, he smiled.
“Young Master Lin, with your hard work, you will definitely achieve something in the future.”
After saying this, Xia Hongming went straight to look for Liu Sanniang.
Lin Jie sat up straight. He held the white dog in one hand and a brush in the other. He stroked the dog while drawing talismans. 𝚗𝑶𝗏𝑒𝓵𝒏𝖊xt.𝔠𝚘𝐌
Before Xia Hongming could step into the courtyard, he heard the whooshing sounds of the sword . He stood still and looked in.
Chu Yan was dressed in white and the soft sword in his hand was sharp. Every strike carried a whooshing sound.
Liu Sanniang sat by the stone table and ate snacks.
Xia Hongming knew not to disturb them.
In any case, there was an array formation in the palace. The envoys of the two dynasties had just arrived and there was no one unusual. It was better not to disturb Miss Liu for the time being.
At this thought, Xia Hongming turned around and left.
Before he left, he glanced at Lin Jie and said, “Young Master Lin, I’ll take my leave first.”
Lin Jie was still focused on drawing talismans.
The matter of peace between rhe three dynasties was an urgent matter.
The Yan Dynasty and Jin Dynasty did not seem to have any psychics with them, which made the Xia Dynasty feel relieved.
After discussing the peace agreement, they had the intention to form a marriage alliance.
The little princess of the Yan Dynasty, Su Ran, made a request. There were so many warriors in the Xia Dynasty. She wanted to marry a warrior. As long as someone who could defeat her appeared, she was willing to marry him. If the man already had a wife, she was willing to be his concubine.
Lei Lian, the Tenth Princess of the Jin Dynasty, also expressed that for the sake of the peace between the Jin Dynasty and the Xia Dynasty, she was willing to marry into rhe Xia Dynasty, but only to the man who could defeat her.
If the Xia Dynasty did not have a man who dared to accept the challenge, it would be embarrassing.
Hence, Xia Bingguang agreed.
The date of the competition was set to be on the 20th of August.
After setting the date, rhe envoys of the two dynasties returned to the inn. During the day, they toured around the capital.
When the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived, Madam Wei asked Ye Niuniu to send over small mooncakes.
Liu Sanniang also asked Ye Niuniu to send back the delicious steamed chicken.
Dinner was later today because they had to eat while admiring the moon.
After the food was served, Hu Yu smiled and helped pour the wine. “Venerable Liu, look at the moon today. It’s really round.”
The round moon was like a big plate. It was really comfortable to drink osmanthus wine and eat mooncakes and delicacies while admiring it.
At this moment, Hu Yu was in a good mood. Everyone looked up and was attracted by rhe scenery of the full moon.
After midnight, everyone washed up and returned to their rooms to rest.
Hu Yu jumped onto rhe bed and lay on the blanket, saying to Lin Jie, “I’ll sleep first. I ate a little too much just now. I’m so sleepy.”
Before Lin Jie could speak, Hu Yu muttered, “Liu Yuanyuan is a bad person. I know that she must have gone to look for the Young Marquis. She already forgot her friend.”
Lin Jie’s expression was calm. He took off his clothes and went to bed in his undergarment. He reached out and touched Hu Yu’s silver fur. She looked like a little fox and was so cute.
The arrival of rhe envoys of rhe two dynasties did nor cause much of a commotion. However, the news that the 2 princesses were going to find a husband with extraordinary martial arts caused a sensation in the entire capital. Many people were excited.
When the news came out, there were hundreds of people who were willing to go on stage to showcase their martial arts. However, these people who wanted to fight were also carefully selected. In the middle of the night, one of them sneaked into a tent. He held his stomach and said with difficulty, “General Lu, I’m having a stomachache. Please help me in the first round tomorrow. In the first two days, people won’t show their true ability. Help me. If I marry the princess in the end, I’ll definitely reward you handsomely..”
